Answer: Someone on GW can mention they saw a gnome climbing out of a David Hewlett robot and I'd find that of roughly equal interest.

Answer: When a script comes out for the concept meeting, it comes out as a white draft. As we progress through prep week, changes are made and the pages containing changes are put out as blue pages. In the next round of changes, pages containing changes are put out as pink pages. And as more changes are made, more colors of the rainbow are tapped: green, yellow, grey, goldenrod, tartan, and double-white (not to be confused with single white which looks exactly the same).

Answer: Timing is everything. Amanda was pregnant over the hiatus and gave birth early in season 9. You'll note that she missed a bunch of episodes early in that season and, in the small instances that Carter did pop up, the pregnancy was easily concealed. Rachel was pregnant throughout the show's fourth season and given that we wanted to do more with her character this season, diminishing her role or limiting her character by shooting her behind computers or clutching baskets of turtle root was not an option so we elected to embrace the pregnancy and write it into the show.

I've talked a lot about internet TV and video on demand before because I really think it's the future of television. There have been plenty of small online shows out there of all genres, even soap operas. Sanctuary, a web series I just discovered, may be one of the best executed so far. It stars Amanda Tapping, who you may know from Stargate SG-1. The story is set in the future where strange mutantsare the key to the survival of the human race. Each episode follows Dr. Helen Magnus (Tapping), her daughter, and a protégé as they delve into the labyrinthine world inhabited by these monsters. It's dark, and it features a unique amalgamation of science and supernatural.

Answer: While I appreciate a clearly devoted fan's attempt to correct me, I don't think I need to point out that since I was working on the script in questions yesterday afternoon, I should be in a better to know that Sheppard's ex-wife's name is Karen. I mean Nancy.

After, during or before season four and season ten finale? 5) Will Bates be returning in season four?"

Answers: 1) No. 2) Good question. 3) Could be. 4) Definitely after the season ten finale. 5) Another good question.

Answer: I appreciate your persistence in not taking my previous "we have no plans beyond season four" responses to heart. The truth is we've already written the whole fifth season including the Sheppard stick-fighting episode. You're gonna love it.

Answer: Given that I haven't answered this question the first 50 times it was asked, I'd put my money on "make use wait and see".
